“Everywhere you go, you have more questions than answers and you always want to know more. That’s why it’s so important to be here - you can’t find all the answers here but you get the feeling that you want to keep reading and studying about Jewish history.”
Gustavo Gomez, Radio Director, La Luciernaga, Caracol Radio (In Spanish)
“Hay una cosa que me parece clave sin ánimo a molestar otras creencias, naciones o pueblos.
Esta es una democracia funcional única en la región, es lo más parecido a lo que una persona como yo, Colombiano-amante de la democracia querría para su país. Y el concepto de que el trabajo del pueblo judío durante tantos años el tesón la entrega y la dedicación son los que hoy en día garantiza que hoy exista esa democracia. Por supuesto una democracia necesita cada vez acoplarse más con la región.”
“There is something that is key for me, with no offense to other religions, nations, or peoples; Israel is a functional democracy, and unique in this region. Israel’s democracy is the closest thing to what someone like me - a Colombian lover of democracy, would want for his country. The idea that the hard work of the Jewish people for so many years, their perseverance, commitment, and devotion are in essence what guaranties that today this democracy exists. Of course, a democracy needs to adapt to its region.”

This incredible new 20-building high tech center, being built on 150 acres and to have 2 million square feet of office and lab space, was designed by KUD International LLC, a subsidiary of Japan-based Kajima Corporation, one of the world’s largest development and construction firms.
The connection to Project Interchange?
Marvin Suomi, President and CEO of KUD, traveled to Israel on an AJC Project Interchange seminar in 2005. The trip was the brainchild of Bob Peckar, PI’s National Chair. That’s where Mr. Suomi got the inspiration for this path-breaking initiative. And he said so in the presence of Israel’s top leadership, when he connected the massive project directly to his Project Interchange-sponsored trip. Listen to him here:
